As I observed in the first image post of the day, my Adventure with Super Sculpey ended poorly - the original piece was simply a flat rectangle with an image scratched into one side. Curiously encouraged by what I'd read elsewhere, I decided to build up on it, using very thin layers of SS and baking it again. Well, the operation was a success - I have a better grasp on the process - but the patient probably felt like dying, the end result being so moronic-looking that I was tempted toward committing euthanasia. The addition of acrylic paints brought out further problems; however, I'm not entirely discouraged - it seems SS will be handled in the form of 3D art instead (I may salvage it to use as a pedistal). For a model, I have the left hind leg of a Barbie which would be enough of a challenge I hope.
Meanwhile, I notice that a greater part of the drawing I've been doing lately has been with pencils, something I keep returning to again and again. It could be due to its resemblance to the airbrush, with its fine textures and shading and layers, though the fact that it's rather more easily correctible may be a factor as well.
